Application April 10, 1937, Serial No. 136,044

3 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hangers forties, garments, and the like, and constitutes a further improvement ofthe invention for which the U. S. Patent No.

1,503,236 was granted to me July 29, 1924.

Thus the main object of the invention is to provide a hanger ortie-rack, which may be adjusted to receive articles of a different sizeor width thereon, as said device may, or may not,

be divided into compartments, and which device is so constructed as tosecurely retain the articles placed thereon.

As the construction of my device is comparatively simple the cost ofmanufacturing should be proportionately low.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of thenovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts,hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing forming a part of this specification, and in which similarcharacters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, andin which:

Figure 1 is a front elevational View of my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan View of same; while Figure 3 is a sideelevational View of my invention; and

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view on the line 4@ in Figure 3.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, l 0 indicates a support madeof any suitable material and adapted for attachment to a wall or door. Amember, or comparatively thin flat strip H,

preferably of metal and made with slots l2 in the knee-bent end portionsl3 thereof, as may be seen especially in Figure. 3, is attached to thesupport It, as shown at M. Said member H may be provided with a numberof apertures l5 therein, the

latter being adapted to receive partition members 16, whereby to divide,if. desired, the space formed by the support It) and the member H into anumber of compartments; said partition members l6 extend from the memberH to the support It].

Inside the member H is arranged another member l1, the ends of whichterminate in short knee-bent portions I8, and which member I1 isprovided with apertures I9 therein of a size just large enough toreceive the members l6 loosely therein, and thus permit a free slidingof said member I! towards and away from the member It. The end portionsI 8 have attached thereto a clip 20 terminating in a gripping portion2|,

whereby to operate the latter. Said clip is provided with a raisedportion 22 thereon, as may be seen especially in Figure 4, made, forinstance, by a stamping process; said raised portion 22 has for itspurpose to secure the member H in any suitable, adjusted position withrespect to the 5 frame member H by turning said clip so that the raisedportion engages the portions of the knee-bent frame I l above or belowthe cut-out portion 12. It will, of course, appear that when the raisedportion 22 upon the clip 20 is in align- 1o ment with the cut-outportion E2 the member I? may slide freely towards or away from themember H; the clip 20 is secured to the knee-bent end portions l8 of themember I! by means of a short stud 23 formed upon both ends thereof with15 a fiat portion 24. Said stud, while securing the clip 20 to the endportion. I8 of the member 51, extends through the slot l2 of theportion. I3, which is situated between said clip 20 and the end portionl8. 20

It is obvious that changes may be made in the form, construction andarrangement of the several parts, as shown and described herein, withinthe scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit ofthe invention, and I 25 do not therefore wish to limit myself to theexact construction and arrangement shown and described herein.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of. theUnited States, is- 30 1. A garment hanger comprising a supporting memberadapted for attachment to an object, a knee-bent member rigidly securedto said first member and being formed with slots at each end thereof,cross bars between said first and second members and secured to thelatter, whereby to partition the space between said members, a slidablemember arranged inside the second member and being formed with aperturestherein, whereby to allow said slidable member to move upon the crossbars and the end pieces of the hanger, studs upon said slidable memberadapted to move in the slots at the end portions of the second member,and a clip secured to said slidable member, said clip being formed witha projection thereon adapted to engage the end portions of the secondmember, whereby to arrest the slidable member in an adjusted positionrelative to the second member.

2. In a device of the class described, a tie-rack comprising a rearsupport, a front bar formed with rectangularly-bent slotted end portionsand secured to said rear support, a member disposed inside said frontbar, said member being formed 55 with rectangularly-bent short endpieces, a 'clip having a projection thereon, and arranged outside eachend portion of the front bar, and studs passing through said slotsconnecting the clips to said member, the projections on the clips beingadapted to secure the member in relative adjusted position with respectto the front bar.

3. In a device of the class described, a rear supporting member, a frontmember made with 10 kneebent end portions and attached to the rearmember, said knee-bent end portions having slots formed therein, anadjustable, slidable member disposed inside said front member and formedwith short knee-bent end portions, clips secured to the latter outsidethe front member, studs connecting said clips to the slidable member andmeans formed upon the clips, whereby to secure said slidable member inrigid position with respect to the front member.
